The
EQUOtip ® 2 hardness tester is a light weight, yet extremely powerful portable
hardness tester for all metallic materials. The EQUOtip® 2 portable
hardness tester measures the Leeb value (L) for materials, which is a ratio
of the impact velocity to the rebound velocity. This L value is then
converted to standard hardness scales such as Rockwell, Brinell, Shore,
and Vickers using conversion tables stored internally in the display unit
and generated from the original Leeb block. Thus, an EQUOtip® portable
hardness tester reading from today will match (within tolerance) an EQUOtip®
hardness tester reading from any of the instruments since production started
back in 1975. Mobile and very accurate, the EQUOtip® 2 portable hardness
tester has a large measuring range - from soft to extremely hard. The EQUOtip®
2 portable hardness tester gives a measurement within seconds and is complete
with internal data storage and RS-232C interface capability.

The EQUOtip® 2 portable hardness tester can be used with a variety of Impact
Devices and Support Rings that allow it to measure a wide variety of part
geometries. It is accurate in all directions and can also be used
in areas with difficult access. The EQUOtip® 2 portable hardness tester
can also be used to measure thin pieces with the optional R5 probe.
